Pharmacokinetic variables of ibuprofen were studied in 6 adult lactating dairy goats after single administration of the drug (14 and 25 mg/kg of body weight, IV, and 50 and 100 mg/kg, PO). Each of the goats was given all doses, with a minimum of 1 week between doses. Ibuprofen concentration in serum was analyzed by use of high-performance liquid chromatography. The lower limit of detection for the ibuprofen assay was 50 ng/ml. Ibuprofen pharmacokinetic variables after IV administration best fit an open two-compartment model. Geometric mean (range) volume of distribution at steady state was 0.16 (0.11 to 0.19) and 0.17 (0.15 to 0.19) L/kg, and terminal half-life was 1.08 (0.79 to 1.70) and 1.27 (1.03 to 1.88) hours, for ibuprofen dosages of 14 and 25 mg/kg, respectively. After 50 and 100 mg/kg administered orally, bioavailability was 90.8 and 106%, respectively. Area under the curve increased linearly with dose administered. Adverse effects were not observed in goats given ibuprofen.
